This sinister looking assault rifle is the AK-47 CPW (Contractors Personal Weapon) from ECHO 1. What you are looking at is an AK-47 that has fully customized by having practically every original body part replaced with a custom aftermarket part. Itís big, itís mean, itís heavy and you sure donít want to be on the receiving end of it.

The CPW is the type of rifle that comes to mind when you think "soldier of fortune". Itís a highly customized hunk of metal that will put fear into the hearts of your enemies simply by looking at it. Of the extensive external modifications done to this rifle, the first thing you will probably notice is the six point adjustable LE style M4 stock which has replaced the AKís original stock. There is also the 8.25 inch RIS rail along the top of the rifles receiver. This unique rail is unlocked at the rear and then after flipping up the rear sight, the whole rail hinges forwards to give you access to the battery compartment under the receiver cover. Other modifications include the M249 pistol grip, synthetic handguards with integrated RIS rails, removable vertical foregrip, AKM muzzle brake and Bulgarian waffle magazine.

If you are thinking that this is just a standard AK with a bunch of cosmetic upgrades, you might want to hold that thought until you shoot it because the upgrades on this rifle arenít just on the outside. Deep inside this rifle you will find a full metal version 3 gearbox which has been factory upgraded with powerful spring, steel gears, metal spring guide, metal bushings and a high torque motor. This means the CPW will punch out shots at a withering 460 feet per second with will reach ranges approaching 200 feet.

This gun has everything I have been looking for in a new weapon. After charging the battery and filling the magazine I went outside to the range and it preformed perfectly without any adjustments needed. From 50 feet away I was able to cut-out shapes of cardboard like it was using a knife.

I was laughing at the shapes I was able to cut out. This gun performs well beyond what you have to pay for it. You can spend twice the amount of money to get a gun that performs at the level that this gun does.

At 100 feet it still preformed with flying colors. I was able to hit a 3 inch target missing it only once in about 25 shots in fully automatic. In semi-auto mode I did not miss onceÖway too much fun

Mine initially came with loose screw that I had to tighten for the grip but took a whole 2 seconds to re-tighten this and nothing wobbles. Having the extra rails for mounting external upgrades is also a plus. The second day after having this gun (this was also the day that I decided that I would not need to but another gun for a while) I went online to buy a grenade launcher and red/green laser scope to deck this thing outÖand it still has room for more add-ons

Donít let the website not having an image of this gun sway you from buying this because you will miss this dealÖit looks almost identical to the ECHO 1 AK-47 RIS AEG (there is a picture of this on the website). The only differences in cosmetics is it has the waffle HighMag, it has a additional mounting rail over the gearbox and the stock is an 6 points adjustable M4 stock (these are the external upgradesÖthe internal upgrades are the real reasons why this gun is a must

I recommend this gun for people looking to upgrade from their plastic or half plastic guns (or even crappy full metal like mine). You will not be disappointed.

i just got this gun, and man can i say this is one hella fine weapon, even right out of the box, i already did a thorough check of the gun, i can't even find something to upgrade. the day i get it, i charge it, and pop in a 100 rd mag i got, and i lit up a pumpkin, from 120 feet. i did it out and the hit percentage of this baby was 95% from 120 feet, i don't know what i would do without this gun

This is a very good gun. It's just a beast. I mean it shoots 420fps with 190 effective range. It comes with a quick loading tool to wind of the mag quicker. I shot the whole clip in under 45 seconds. How can you not get this gun!!!

Pros
1. Metal
2. range
3. Fps
4. 4 rails for nice attachments

Cons
N/A

I got this gun a little under a week ago and let me say this thing is amazing. I mean, it's not like top of the market or anything, but for the price and what your getting it's a good deal. I've already played a few games with this thing and it's a stunner. It's a mother when it comes to weight though - haha.

PROS:
-Great fps
-full metal
-pretty sick looking (i wish they would have made it less AK looking but hey, i payed for an AK47 so that's what i get)
-decent hop-up system
-great internals for an Echo
-easy battery access
-retractable stock
-Cool rail system
-ya basically everything on this gun is cool
-Bulgarian waffle style mag (I love those mags)
-plenty of rpm

CONS:
-you should seriously consider a sling cause it's heavy
-the vertical foregrip doesn't come with a screw and the threads inside are in two halves and one of the halves popped out so now it doesn't tighten without popping off the threads or popping the threads out of the grip. so ya get a nut and bolt for it.
-Plastic mag? some people might not like it, but i see it as a blessing 'cause the gun is already so heavy and who really cares about the mag anyway (jk,please don't send me hate mail).

Other than the weight, which i don't see as an issue for me and the vertical grip issues i had which are super easy to fix, this gun will perform wondrously. I don't know how this gun's performance will rate long term 'cause i haven't even had this gun for a full week yet. Overall this gun is a great buy and definitely worth the cash ... and will please anyone who likes the AK47 series, wants a change in the AK monotony, or just wants an interesting looking gun that kills.

Everything on this gun is Metal, If you are not over the age of 15 I wouldn't recommend getting it. It shoots very hard and contains a lot of danger. It's the same weight as an Ak-47. Which means it's pretty heavy.

When I got the gun there was one rusty screw, and one that was stripped but it was bad luck and shouldn't effect your purchase of this weapon because you don't even notice that. No bad side-effects to one screw.

Jams about every 1,000 shots. All you have to do is drop the clip, bang it on your head or leg and switch firing modes from single to auto and back or vice-versa takes 3 seconds to do. If you have a gun that shoots incredible fast it will do that here and there.

Very surprised. Didn't regret buying this gun at all.

first of all what i have to say is that this gun is probably one of the best guns that i've found that's not expensive as hell. I got this gun about a week ago. i got it out of the box and plugged in the battery and after that was charged i plugged it in and i plugged in the clip. i had set up a target at about 100 feet away and i hit it almost perfect on semi auto, and i did hit it perfect on full auto. Then i backed up to about 200 feet and i tried again, and i hit it about half the time on semi auto, and i hit it almost all the time on full auto. So let me say this is the gun to get if you want a gun that will really intimidate your friends and get the job done.

GET THIS GUN IT IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST GUN I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED

This gun looks great. A guy I know in Seattle just bought one, and I did some test firing with it, and it was sweet. the best part was the fps along with the rate of fire. you might be able to cut down some small trees with it! it is a little hefty however, and I'm sue some of my smaller friends would have a hard time with it in a large battle. but I'm a sniper, and i own the 9.5 pound mk96, so the weight is not a big deal for me.
Also, the mods on this gun are pretty cool. i have never been a fan of the collapsible m4 and m16 stocks, and it looks a tad strange on the ak, but works in a strange but cool way. Also the fore grip is a nice addition (though not that great 'cause a grip costs like 5 bucks) and the enhanced internals are quite nice.
This gun is a good deal for 200 bucks, with its power, range, and rof. If you like interestingly shaped guns, and have the cash, this would be a good buy.

Shred it
